The game is a roguelike that will launch on November 5 for PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC via Steam. A deluxe edition of the game includes six DLC items, a digital artbook, and a digital album with 11 soundtrack songs and three voice drama tracks.
FuRyu describes the game:
Following the events of 2019’s CRYSTAR and 2023’s CRYMACHINA, CRYMELIGHT follows a young girl known only as “Alice” after she wakes up with no memories of her past and discovers she must journey to the lowest layer of Purgatory to earn her “Rebirth.” Alice must set out from the Tea Party Hall, defeat enemies born from the depths of madness, and confess and confront the sins she has committed, undergoing immense emotional growth in the process.
The game will star:
In the game, players travel between the “Wonderland” realm and “The Tea Party” realm. “Wonderland” is a prison where souls of the dead are held captive, and “The Tea Party” is a sanctuary that offers “respite to young girls burdened by their sins.”
Naoki Hisaya is the plot and story supervisor, and is returning from previous entries in the CRY series. Other returning staff members from previous entries include composer Sakuzyo and animator RIRI Yamashita. YOGISYA is the character designer.
